A pileup in near-whiteout conditions involving dozens of vehicles closed a stretch of Highway 400 in Barrie on Monday, according to Ontario Provincial Police. "This is the situation we are dealing with — lots of wind, gusty winds, whiteout conditions, snow, blowing snow," Schmidt said. Both directions of Highway 400 have been shut down in the area highlighted in red following a pileup on Monday. Snow squalls, combined with strong northwest winds gusting to 70 km/h, continue to produce dangerous whiteout conditions, the weather agency said. People stand on top of vehicles after the pileup on Highway 400 in whiteout conditions.
